Publisher Description
Meet the newest expansion team--The Portland Icehawks. They're a group of guys with chips on their shoulders out to make their former teams regret letting them go. They won't stop until they win it all, but what they haven't counted on is love being part of that equation.
As a thirty-five-year-old hockey player, I've learned a hard lesson in loyalty. I was supposed to be a lifer for the Chicago Tigers, but the team left me out in the cold, choosing to protect younger players in the expansion draft. The next thing I know, I'm in a strange city with a fledgling team, and my estranged wife has served me with divorce papers. Not the best way to start a new chapter in my career.
As the team struggles to find its identity and win games, I struggle with my role as team captain, proving I'm not too old to play at a high level, and getting beyond my failed marriage. All this is complicated by an undeniable attraction to the owner's granddaughter. As the team racks up the losses, I seek solace with the one woman whose very presence could destroy what's left of my career.
Sometimes love is comfortable and subtle. Other times it hits you with the force of a puck to the jaw. I've never experienced the latter until now, and I can't stay away regardless of the consequences.

Loved it
I was excited when I heard that Jami Davenport had a new series releasing. If Rebounding is anything to go by then she has a winning series on her hand. Members of the latest expansion team, The Portland Icehawk have something to prove to the teams that let them go.
Now Dashel (Dash) Bates finds himself in a new city, separated, on the brink of divorce and struggling to start over both professionally and personally. However sometimes when you least expect it, love will find you and that’s what happens for Dash. I really liked Everly, she is such a feisty, sassy woman and one I admired.
Having quickly become invested in Dash and Everly’s story I cannot wait to read the next book in the series.
All the feels
What a fantastic start to the new Portland Icehawks Series and if Dash and Everly’s story is anything to go by Jami Davenport will certainly have another hit series on her hands !!!
No one on the team is happy being traded to Portland and right from the start this team is bumping heads as they try to gel in ultra quick time. Dash is the man the team has put their faith in to lead and help with the bonding for the difficult season ahead. Putting his broken marriage behind him, moving to a new town the last thing on his mind is a new relationship but love sometimes happens when we least expect it and he certainly wasn’t expecting Everly to come bouncing into his life.
Everly is trying to make a life without her families input but everything she try’s seems to fail and she has been offered one last lifeline by them by running the coffee shop at the Portland Icehawks, the team her family own. She will get her trust fund to do with as she likes as long as she makes a success of the business and stay away from the players. What she didn’t expect was for Dash to come crashing into her life so can this couple overcome her families rules and regulations, will Dash find himself traded before he gets a chance and will love win in the end. One click to find out.
This book was not only a joy to read it has also opened the door for some wonderful stories from the rest of Dash’s teammates on the new Portland Icehawks expansion team. I loved everything about this couple and I can’t wait to see how the rest of this teams journeys work out. A perfect start to a new series with plenty of love and just the right amount of drama. I highly recommend Rebounding to all sports romance lovers.
